Which Package to Install

[DMX78 0]

Hi, I'm a little bit confused with Overbyte installation, I installed from get it package manager and choose the ICS FMX and VCL, but it will only install :

• IcsCommonD110Design
• IcsCommonD110Run
• IcsFmxD110Design
• IcsFmxD110Run
• IcsVclD110Design
• IcsVclD110Run

 

But there is another packages : 

• OverbyteIcsD110Design
• OverbyteIcsD110Run

 

In which I use it previously, so what is the difference between OverbyteICS and ICS package respectively, which one should I installed? I want to install for VCL and FMX.

 

And there is two overbyte entry in Get It Package Manager, the ICS for FMX and VCL component, and the ICS for VCL only. I haven't tried to install the later, but is there a difference between these two component package? Can anyone explain a bit about these packages, thank you.

Look in the "install" directory: you'll find project groups for various combinations of VCL and/or FMX. That is stated in the ReadMe8.txt file.

About the two entries in GetIT, that is Embarcadero stuff. This is the same ICS for moth FMX and VCL. They just separated VCL from FMX. I don't know why.

 

And by the way, GetIT is not updated frequently. It is better to download ICS from OverByte webite. See http://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/ICS_Download.

If only there was a system where component authors could update their GetIt submissions whenever they wanted..... oh wait, we were promised that years ago, but it never materialized.....

Yes, i've seen the install folder and just found out that these two package :

• OverbyteIcsD110Design
• OverbyteIcsD110Run

actually the same with 

• IcsCommonD110Design
• IcsCommonD110Run

But still need both the vcl and fmx, so I think the OverbyteICS package is depreceated, you can't install both OvebyteICS and IcsCommon. I'm confused because in Sydney or perhaps in Rio, I use OverbyteIcs package while it has changed in the latest release.

Well hope this can get solved soon, let me try to refresh this requirement

The content of the ICS packages has not changed in over 10 years or longer, since Delphi XE2 except for new units being added.  

 

If you want only VCL you install only the two  OverbyteIcsDxx packages, if you want FMX as well you only install the three IcsCommonDxx packages, as explained in the readme8 file.

 

Using the install groups is much easier, DxxInstall or DxxInstallVclFmx.  There is a Build Group in modern compilers, so a couple of clicks builds all the packages for Win32 and Win64.

 

GetIt is the same, VCL only or VCL/FMX.

Already clean up my installation, so now I choose to install the VCL FMX package, not the overbyte package
